New Virago Alley Workshop!!

This medieval dagger workshop is going to be led by, Patrick Glynn. The rondel dagger design began during the 14th century due to the evolution of plate armor. By the 15th century it was a common sidearm for knights. With a triangular prism like blade, it’s designed to break links in mail (“chain mail”).

We only have 6 slots available due to the limited amount of gear we currently have. We will be doing first come first serve with folks on a wait list. This small class size means you will get quality instruction as our instructors’ attention won’t be too divided amongst a larger sized class. To secure your spot, you will need to respond to this email and pay the fee. If you don’t get a spot, don’t worry because we will be doing future workshops as well as repeat workshops.

What to expect:
This is a beginner class.
-Practice the combat dagger styles of Meyer, Fiore, Talhoffer
